Gingerbread men!!!

No Christmas would be complete without gingerbread men!! I am happy to say I had very little to do with this batch, but I did teach my brother in law how to make these and decorate them with Katie and I. He had so much fun and even pinched a few "for the road", he'll be back.... ;)

Christmas decoration for Elodie

Elodie's mum joined our craft group and she admired this ornament I was making - so I finished it for Elodie this Christmas. The back is similar, I have embroidered 2011 on the middle heart in a colour matching thread for a subtle effect.

Christmas decorations for Olga.

I made these for my next door neighbours Rupert and Olga. Olga is from the Ukraine, I saw the fabric print and it made me think of her. I think these Christmas hearts are lovely and festive with the gold trim and ribbon.

Miss and Master Christmas

I didn't make anything in this picture, my husband found these little outfits for our children and they are just so adorable I wanted to post them on here. They are seriously gorgeous!!!

Pram blanket for Callie

I am really loving creating texture at the moment with knitting. This is a blanket from a pattern I found online. It's a pram blanket which I thought would be a great size for putting over Callie in her carseat or buggy without having to carry a great big bulky thing - especially in the summer.

This is a knitted lace, it took quite a while to get used to dropping and picking up so many stitches but I am delighted with the results. Callie looks quite happy too :)

Elodie's cardigan

Look at this!! I love the texture this has created, I am going to alter the pattern to fit my daughter at some point because I think this is such a beautiful top. The colour is a lovely kingfisher blue with a ribbon threaded through eyelets all around the middle and then tied to close.
